The weather is not looking good for the next few days, as menacing grey clouds gather over the city.

Outbreaks of rain, which began this morning, will continue into the evening and night and will often be heavy.

It will get less breezy as the day goes on, with fairly warm temperatures of 18 to 20 degrees.

A Met Eireann spokesperson predicts more or less the same story on Tuesday: "Tomorrow may start mainly dry, but outbreaks of rain will return during the day and it will stay cloudy and misty.

"Highest temperatures of 15 to 17 degrees in moderate north to northwest winds."

Wednesday looks set to be rainy too, with highest temperatures between 14 and 18 degrees.

Things could be looking up a bit by the end of the week, though, as Met Eireann says "any remaining rain should clear the east early Thursday and the rest of the day is looking mainly dry with sunny spells and light westerly winds.

Friday also looks to be a mixed bag, with a day of sunshine and showers.
